Drink water from your
own cistern
And fresh water from
your own well.
Should your springs be
dispersed abroad,
Streams of water in the streets?
Let them be yours alone
And not for strangers with you.
Let your fountain be blessed,
And rejoice in the wife of
your youth.
As a
loving hind and a graceful doe,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all
times;
Be exhilarated always with her love.
For why should you, my son, be
exhilarated with an adulteress
And embrace the bosom of
a foreigner?
For the ways of a man are before
the eyes of the Lord,
And He watches all his paths.
- Proverbs 5:15-21
